  1. Re:Frist Psot! on NYC To Release Teacher Evaluation Data Over Union Protests · · Score: 4, Funny

    Close but you misspelled it. It's "goad".

  2. NB4 Crackers on Proposed Video Copy Protection Scheme For HTML5 Raises W3C Ire · · Score: 2

    Play video in browser while running Fraps. There I bypassed this first. While the quality isn't that great it is a way to essentially moot what they are doing.

  3. Re:Upgraded toilets on Gates Foundation Makes Progress On Reinvented Toilets · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it gets infected if it operates slower. "Your request caused an invalid page fault in kernel32.flsh, Click here to report this problem"

  4. Summary and TFA need to clarify. on Secret UK Network Hunts GPS Jammers · · Score: 1

    The project, run by GPS-tracking company Chronos Technology, picked up the illegal jamming incidents via four GPS sensors in trials lasting from two to six months per location.'"

    So there is actually a law on the books in the UK stating it is illegal to jam a GPS sensor or only illegal to jam one you don't own? Please be specific, TFA mentioned blocking corporate vehicle tracking, and theft of high value vehicles. Is there that much problem with high value vehicle theft in the UK? How bout some numbers to back up that claim. More likely I'd choose evasion of vehicle tracking, spousal evasion of phone GPS tracking and people who regularly break posted speed limits worried their GPS data will earn them a citation.

  5. Re:The lesson here isn't about free speech on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    I've no religious denomination. In school we had a moment of prayer some kids would pray out loud, I'd just sit there and do nothing. You don't have to respect the religion or beliefs but I think it's just common courtesy to allow someone to pray and to keep quite while they are doing it.

    Apparently the Google spellchecker is not strong with this one.

  7. Credit Industry on Why Corporate Cloud Storage Doesn't Add Up · · Score: 1

    It'll never happen with data within the credit industry. With so many regulations on privacy now using a third party cloud storage provider would be a gross violation of privacy laws.

  8. Re:Try "a car without license plates" instead... on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    Nowhere in there does it mention the RFID tag.

  9. Re:Bad summary: the airline, not the government on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    You assume that one verifies your passport by simply swiping it through the RFID reader. I imagine it gets physically inspected as well. An RFID tag can not be used for verifiable identification, it's too prone to duplication and also theft, one would just need to be near a person walking through the airport with a reader in their bag collecting data on travelers. Better human judgement could have been used.

    Let's also take into account that if sitting on it is enough to break it then it is not fit to use in a passport, something that will be abused by travel.

  10. Re:Bad summary: the airline, not the government on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    I saw we show both the airlines and the gov'ment how fed up we are with the draconian measures they've implemented.

    Seriously, saying a child doesn't respect a passport is like saying the sun is hot. A kid has no concept of what the damn thing is other than it has their picture.

  11. Electric Rockets Really? on Electric Rockets Set To Transform Space Flight · · Score: 0

    I mean cause everyone knows weight is a factor when lifting objects into orbit, so no doubt batteries to power the engines wouldn't be a factor.

  12. Re:the moon is growing on Moon May Not Be As Dead As We Thought · · Score: 0

    The moon isn't growing. It's due to Mooninite overpopulation.

  13. Re:noise on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    This, Firefly is the only one I can think that depicted no sound in space. Star Trek, Star Wars and many others also have sounds in space as well as explosions larger than life, Stargate also falls into that category.

  14. Interesting. on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    If you actually read the article, there was no illegal hunting going on. The hunt was well within season, and was also on a hunting plantation. So what we have here is a case of hunters accused of shooting down a remote helicopter that was actually trespassing in private airspace. Considering the nature of the hunt in progress on the ground it's no wonder it was shot down. I mean what do you expect if what you are filming flies and those hunting it are looking up. It could be a case of bad vehicle placement, though I doubt it. They will never be able to prove that it was purposefully shot down though.

  16. Re:Two words: on Ask Slashdot: Copy Protection Advice For ~$10k Software? · · Score: 1

    I think this would ultimately be your solution.

    Perhaps have the software work in a crippled way without the dongle, but need the dongle to unlock the full application. That should be tougher to crack than any DRM you could come up with.

    One thing that's apparent today is that corps with the pockets deep enough can't even stop their DRM from being cracked.(read MS, not even Windows 7 was able to avoid it)

  17. Re:Go EU on EU Court Rules Social Networks Cannot Be Forced To Police Downloads · · Score: 2

    The US is 100% for the rich powerful interests and 0% for the citizens.

    I'm a citizen so my interests are not taken to heart for this matter.

    This is what the US entertainment industry is trying to export.

    I fixed that for you.

    The 'mini internet' has content servers, DNS servers, and network emulators (to model various different latencies, throughputs, packet loss)."

    I am all for this testing, but in practice I think it will lack one very important metric that Microsoft can not measure. How well IE10 works with a site riddled with poorly written code.
